Is there a way to use(access) the hotkeys when you have text selected? Using a hotkey when you have text selected replaces the selected text with the hotkey. Is there a workaroud for this?

    You should be able to use keyboard shortcuts that are defined for the Text and Tables area that contain one of the Alt/Opt or Ctrl/Cmd keys.

      I just click the Eyedropper Tool to do this because the shortcut “I” does not work if text is selected. You could define a separate shortcut (for instance CMD+ALT+I) with “Text” as context. Then you will be able to use a shortcut. But I guess clicking the Eyedropper Tool might just be as fast.
